2 Review Evolution by Natural Selection new variants of a species are continually arising in a population variants can be successful and lead to new species variants can be unsuccessful and die off when faced with environmental pressure variations in a population arise from random mutations in the DNA code. evolution depends on: random genetic mutation natural selection (selecting for favorable traits)

3 Review Discussing Genetics Alleles alternate forms of genes. you get one allele from each parent. are found at certain locus or location on the gene if the alleles at one locus are identical they are said to be homozygous if the alleles at one locus are different they are said to be heterozygous

4 Review Discussing Genetics Alleles if the alleles inherited from the parents are different, the dominant allele will be expressed in the individuals appearance. this becomes the phenotype. the remaining allele has no affect on the phenotype but remains as part of the individuals genotype (DNA blueprint).

7 I) Introduction DeRinitions Population: a group of organisms of the same species (can interbreed) and live in the same area and time. Gene pool: sum of all the genes in a certain population the more variation in a gene pool the better the populations chances of surviving environmental pressures. Genotypic ratio the ratio of offspring with each possible allele combination from a particular cross Genotypic frequency the proportion of a population with a particular genotype

9 I) Introduction The genotypic frequency of the bb genotype is found by: (number with desired genotype)/ (total population) 32/ (usually given a decimal) as a percent 0.16 x 100% =16% The genotypic frequency of the Bb genotype is found by: (number with desired genotype)/ (total population) 96/ (usually given a decimal) as a percent 0.48 x 100% =48% The genotypic frequency of the BB genotype is found by: (number with desired genotype)/ (total population) 72/ (usually given a decimal) as a percent 0.36 x 100% =36% the sum of all three genotypes will be 1.00 or 100%

12 I) Introduction allele frequency the rate of occurrence of a particular allele in a population. usually expressed as a decimal because diploid organisms have two possible alleles for every gene the total number of alleles in a population is twice the number of the individuals. example: a sample population of 200 mice will have 400 alleles for coat colour.

14 I) Introduction the frequency of each allele is found by dividing the incidence of the allele by the total number of alleles in the sample The Frequency of the B Allele 240/400 = 0.60 (60%) The Frequency of the b Allele 160/400 = 0.40 (40%) the sum of all the phenotypic frequencies will be 1.00 or 100%

15 I) Introduction

16 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle early thinking by biologist lead to the wrong idea that recessive alleles will eventually be eliminated from the population. example: the most common blood type in Alberta is O which is a recessive genotype (ii) Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg showed that allele frequency in a population will remain the same from one generation to the next if Rive conditions are met.

17 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle the Rive conditions of the Hardy- Weinberg Principle 1. The population is large enough that chance events will not alter allele frequencies. 2. Mates are chosen on a random basis. 3. There are no net mutations 4. There is no migration 5. There is no natural selection against any phenotypes. the principle gives us a snap shot of a static population (not evolving)

18 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle consider a trait that is controlled by a dominant and a recessive allele. the letter p represents the frequency of the dominant allele the letter q represents the frequency of the recessive allele because there is only two forms of the alleles the frequencies must add up to 1.00 p + q = 1.00 frequency of dominant allele frequency of recessive allele all the alleles (100 percent)

19 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle the Hardy- Weinberg principle and the Punnett s Square in this example the dominant allele frequency is 0.70 (p = 0.70) and the recessive allele frequency is 0.30 (q = 0.30) if p represents the frequency of the dominant allele then p 2 represents the frequency of homozygous dominant offspring. if q represents the frequency of the recessive allele then q 2 represents the frequency of homozygous recessive offspring. there are two possible combinations that will result in the heterozygous genotypes pq + qp = 2pq

20 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle The Hardy-Weinberg Principle p 2 + 2pq + q 2 = 1.00 frequency of homozygous dominant genotype frequency of heterozygous genotype frequency of recessive genotype all the individuals in the population (100%) The Hardy- Weinberg Principle can be used to calculate the proportion of individuals with a speciric genotype in a population.

21 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle example the dominant allele p frequency is 0.70 and the recessive allele q frequency is 0.30 in a mouse population of 200. p 2 + 2pq + q 2 = 1.00 (0.70) 2 + 2(0.70)(0.30) + (0.30) 2 = = % of the next generation will be homozygous dominant 42% of the next generation will be heterozygous dominant 9% of the next generation will be homozygous recessive

23 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle Sample Problem 1: Albinism in a Snake Population In a randomly mating population of snakes, one out of 100 snakes counted is albino, a recessive trait. Determine the theoretical percentage of each of the genotypes in the population. What Is Required? To determine the values for p 2, 2pq, and q 2, which represent the frequencies of the AA, Aa, and aa genotypes in the population What Is Given? The value of q 2 : The proportion of snakes that are albino and thus have the aa genotype is 1.00/ p + q = 1.00

24 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle Plan Your Strategy Change the value of q 2 to a decimal. Take the square root of the value of q 2 to Rind the value of q. Subtract q from 1.00 to Rind the value of p. Find the values of p 2 and 2pq. Express p 2 and 2pq as percents.

27 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle Sample Problem 2: Wing Length in Fruit Flies A single pair of alleles codes for one of the genes that controls wing length in fruit Rlies (Drosophila melanogaster). The long wing allele (L) is dominant to the short wing allele (l). If 40 fruit Rlies out of 1000 that are counted have short wings, how many fruit Rlies out of 1000 would be expected to be heterozygotes? What Is Required? To determine the number of fruit Rlies that are heterozygous (Ll) for the wing length gene, given a population sample (N) of exactly What Is Given? The proportion (q 2 ) of homozygous recessive (ll) fruit Rlies in the sample,

28 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle Plan Your Strategy Change the frequency of q 2 to a decimal. Take the square root of the value of q 2 to Rind the value of q. Subtract q from 1.00 to Rind the value of p. Find the value of 2pq. Multiply the population size (N) by the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (2pq).

30 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle Step 3 Step 5 Step 4 The population sample would be expected to contain exactly 320 fruit Rlies that are heterozygous (Ll) for the wing length gene.

31 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle the Hardy- Weinberg principle: provides a method to measure the amount of variation within a gene pool. allows geneticists to compare allele frequencies in a population at different times. if there is no change in allele frequency over time then the population is said to be at genetic equilibrium or Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium. a population at genetic equilibrium does not change or evolve over time. populations evolve and change when one of the Hardy- Weinberg principles are not met.

32 II) The Hardy-Weinberg Principle the gradual change in allele frequencies of a population is called microevolution (microevolution: of a population, any change in allele frequencies resulting from mutation, genetic drift, gene Qlow, natural selection, or some combination of these) the Hardy- Weinberg principle can also be used to study incomplete and co- dominant alleles. population ecologists DNA test populations of interest to Rind out which alleles individuals carry.

36 III) Gene Pool Change mutation a change in DNA of an individual an inheritable mutation has the potential to affect an entire gene pool. most mutations are neutral (no effect) some are harmful (usually does not promote reproduction so it is not spread in the gene pool (death before sex)) some are benericial (may lead to a better Rit of an organism to the environment).

37 III) Gene Pool Change an example of a benericial mutation is one that encodes for receptor protein on white blood cells. if you are homozygous for the mutation you lack a functioning receptor and have resistance to HIV (this can be called a selective advantage)

38 III) Gene Pool Change Gene Flow describes the net movement of alleles from one population to another due to the migration of individuals. when mating occurs genetic diversity of the populations increase. gene Rlow can also decrease diversity when there is a net migration out of a population.

41 III) Gene Pool Change Genetic Drift a change in allele frequencies due to chance events in a small breeding populations. in general large populations do not experience genetic drift because chance events are unlikely to affect overall allele frequencies.

44 III) Gene Pool Change The Bottleneck Effect gene pool change that results from a rapid decrease in population size.

45 III) Gene Pool Change Mirounga angustirostris (Northern Elephant Seal) hunted to as few as 20 individuals by the 1890s. today there is tens of thousands of individuals that all came from that small surviving population due to the bottleneck effect there is now a large population of Elephant seals with very low genetic diversity.

46 III) Gene Pool Change Natural Selection the only process that leads directly to evolutionary adaptations. individuals best Rit to the environment will breed and pass on their favourable variations to the next generation. the environment is what makes mutations benericial, harmful or neutral. inrluenced by sexual reproduction (increase diversity) and sexual selection (selecting the best Rit)

47 III) Gene Pool Change Heterozygote Advantage occurs when heterozygotes have a higher Qitness than do both homozygotes Natural selection will tend to maintain two or more alleles at that locus The sickle-cell allele causes mutations in hemoglobin but also confers malaria resistance
